“Sophia swayed and took a step back
“They’re lying and trying to harm someone. Looks like Sophia really is a fake woman,” someone said nearby.
“Exactly. She’s always trying to harm others. Is she out of her n
mind?” another person chimed in.
“If Odalys hadn’t killed the snake, anyone walking by could have been bitten,” someone added.
Sophia clenched her teeth, her hands tightly balled into fists as she fought to keep her composure. She shot a venomous glare at Odalys.
“Looking into Odalys almost–smirking eyes. Sophia was seething with anger
“It’s impossible. This surveillance must be fake!” Sophia yelled her voice shaking with fury.
“The police officer give her a warning look, then said, “What are you causing a scene for! Filing a false report will land you in jail-
“You think the police are here to amuse you? After trying to frame Ms. Stone, now you’re trying to flip the situation? Why can’t you just be a decent person?” the officer scolded.
“Tears of frustration streamed down Sophia’s face. She hadn’t expected the police to side with Odalys. It felt so unfair to her.
Clearly, Sophia was the one who’d been attacked, the one who’d been wronged.
“Go back and rewind the footage. It’s there. They’re the ones who hit me. I might have missed something earlier, but the cameras must have caught
Sophia insisted.
“Everyone stared at her as though she were crazy
“But Sophia didn’t care. She kept insisting they go back and check the footage.
“Meanwhile, Blossom turned away, crying into Celeste’s arms. Watching Sophia now, Blossom regretted everything and felt like she might strangle herself.

“Why did I ever like Sophia! She’s just so evil; Blossom sobbed as she wondered, mourning her naive p was so foolish, so blind.
Blossom cried, cursing her past self.
“Mom, why did I ever like her?” Blossom whimpered, tears streaming down her face.
Celeste gently patted her shoulder and comforted her. “You were innocent back then, that’s why she fooled you. But don’t worry, I’ll always be here to protect you. You won’t make the same mistake again.”
“From now on, just like Odalys, okay? Celeste said softly.
“Blossom nodded eagerly. “Yes, I’ll only like Odalys from now on. I’ll never like anyone else. This world is just too scary.”
Harvey watched his daughter cry, his heart heavy with emotion. He couldn’t help

“Sophia, on the other hand, was boiling with rage. She had once been spoiled and adored, but now she felt like a rat scurrying across the street she wanted now was justice. She couldn’t stomach this injustice any longer.
“Fine, I’ll pull up the footage from earlier,” the man said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, clearly fed up with Sophia’s behavior.
“He hated how swollen her face was. He wished she would just disappear. With her crying in front of his door, he worried it would bring bad luck, ruining his family’s business.
“Business owners loathed situations like this.

“Okay, play the footage now. Make sure to do it properly. You’d better even stream it live. I want everyone to see were the ones who hit me!” Sophia shouted, her anger impossible to hide.
“My face, the bruises all over me let that be the proof!” she yelled, her voice filled with frustration.

“Sophia had been assaulted and now she was being doubted. She just couldn’t accept what was happening to her.
“Alright, we’ll pull up the footage,” Odalys said calmly.
“Odalys took out her phone, opened the live–streaming app, and started broadcasting. She had many subscribers who had been eagerly waiting for her live session. The moment she started the stream, notifications flooded in, and the app quickly filled with thousands of viewers.
“As soon as Odalys went live, the number of viewers skyrocketed, reaching a billion within just 30 seconds.
“She held up her phone, scanning the surroundings, and directed the camera toward the television. The man immediately started rewinding the surveillance footage, but instinctively glanced at Odalys
“Sophia’s face was terribly swollen from the beating. He instinctively thought that these people must have been the ones who did it.
But with the police there and so many people watching, he couldn’t avoid showing the footage. The police had the authority to access the surveillance, so whether or not he agreed didn’t really matter.
“Rather than being forced by the police, it was better for him to voluntarily pull up the footage.
“As expected, he rewound the footage, and Sophia’s figure appeared on the screen. She parked her car in front of his house and got our
“A figure emerged from the backseat. Sophia’s eyes widened.
“No, I don’t want you to see this. Sophia panicked.
“She tried to rush forward, but two police officers seemed prepared, grabbing her arms and holding her back, not allowing her to approach the

had been so blinded by anger that she didn’t realize what she had done earlier. She only wanted to see the footage of them hitting her so she could have them locked up.
“You’ve prepared the gasoline, right?” Sophia asked proudly,
“Edie’s expression darkened as she stared at Sophia, asking. “What do I get if I burn Odalys to death today and destroy her company?”
“Sophia continued to manipulate her. “You want the Stewart family’s fortune, don’t you! If they die, you’ll be the heir. You wouldn’t want Odalys to take over the Stewart family’s assets, right!
“And besides, you’re my mom’s best friend and now my brother’s wife. We’re family.”
“Edie, who had once been sharp and clever, was now under the influence of a curse worm, which clouded her mind and drove her to madness. She had lost all rationality.
Odalys is a fraud.
“Edie spoke harshly, “Fine, I’ll go burn Odalys to death and destroy her damn company. I’ll make sure everyone knows that Od “If she really was that good, why y didn’t she predict th
that I would set her on fire today?”
“When she’s dead, she won’t have the chance to show off her skills anymore. No matter how good she is, she won’t be able to escape my grip” Her eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty, murderous intent.
“I be waiting for the good news,” Sophia said, shaking the champagne in her hand. “I’ve got the drink ready. We can open it when you get back.” “Clearly, she had prepared for this moment in advance.
“Edie ignored her and turned to leave, walking briskly toward Odalys company. The scene froze at that moment, and everyone stared in shock at the footage on the television.
“Odalys began. “This morning, Edie showed up with gasoline outside my company, threatening to burn me alive. It seems like, you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes! No wonder you showed up here so suddenly.
“And now you’re trying to report me to the police, twisting things around. If I hadn’t been lucky enough to encounter the lightning strike, I probably would have been burned alive too. Sophia, you were adopted by my parents. You stole their love for me for so many years.
“She added, “You and your family forced me to be your slave. I’ve already cut ties with the Bennett family. I don’t compete with you anymore, and I never even thought about it”
“But why can’t you leave me alone? Is it because I can do Star readings? Or is it because you’re so jealous, you want to destroy me?” step forward, her voice cold and sharp

“Sophia panicked, retreating step by step, until she lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
